After upgrading to the backports from Sarge, I've successfully gotten jabberd working on my server. For some reason even though Woody's version would start and appear to be running fine, I could never authenticate or register a new username. Plus with the version from Sarge I now have the transports to use aim, yahoo, icq, etc. I'm not sure what the problem was with the package from Woody and don't really care now, but I thought I would document it for anyone googling in the future.
